The frontalis muscle contracts on the forehead, causing forehead wrinkles. When we elevate our eyebrows, this muscle contracts. The frontalis muscle raises, pulling the forehead skin up and resulting in forehead wrinkles that are visible as lines across our foreheads.
When we are young, our skin will bounce back when we stop raising our eyebrows; however, as we get older, the skin tends to form a more permanent line on the forehead. This is because some people naturally have a tendency to be more expressive and raise their eyebrows numerous times throughout the day.
